Single-Beam Bathymetry Sounding Data of Shark River and Trout Creek, Florida (2004) in XYZ file format

During the past century, river and tidal creeks through the coastal wetlands of the Everglades have filled with sediment and vegetation of surrounding landscapes to the point that many have greatly diminished or disappeared entirely. Restoration plans are under consideration to redirect additional freshwater inflow from the Everglades to open and sustain these waterways to a level that closely resembles historic patterns. The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has developed hydrodynamic numerical models to help define the restoration plan and oversees monitoring to assess restoration impacts. This report serves as an archive of processed single-beam bathymetry data that were collected in Shark River and Trout Creek, Florida in 2004.
